• An arts organization called Project Bookmark Canada has chosen The

Queen of Unforgetting for a plaque installation—PBC picks books and poetry set

in Canadian locations for 'bookmarking'. They will 'unveil' a plaque in Little

Lake Park in Midland, Ontario (the setting of part of the book) on Tues. Oct. 4,

11:00am. The plaque will have an excerpt from the book as well as a bit of

author information. Other authors with plaques (since inception, 2009) are

Michael Ondaatje (Bloor St. viaduct), Anne Michaels (Toronto Annex) and

Elizabeth Hay.
